### Description

Getting 401 for GitHub OAuth.

Clearing cookies works, but just for a day.

Next day 401s come back.

Clearing cookies on a daily basis can not be the long term fix.

Please advise.

Got logged out–401 attempting to reconnect. Went to [codecov.io/logout](http://codecov.io/logout) and it reconnected. This is the first time I’ve tried the direct logout approach.
